Chords for David Bowie - We Are the Dead (lyrics)

[Db] _ [C] _ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
I looked at [Bb] you, wondered if [D] you saw [Eb] things my way.
_ _ [Bb] [F] People will [Gb] hold [D] us to [Gm] blame, but hit me [Cm] today, [Em] hit me [F] today.
_ We're [G] taking [Bb] it hard all [F] the time, why don't we [Bb] pass it by.
[D] Just reply, you've [Eb] changed your mind.
[Dm] We're [F] fighting [Gb] with [D] the eyes of the [Gm] blind.
[Bb] Taking it [Eb] hard, [C] taking it [F] hard.
[Eb] You _ [D] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Ab] feel that [Gb] we are paper, _ [Dm] choking on [Cm] you nightly.
[Bb] They tell me, son, [Ab] we want you.
[Gb] Be elusive, but [G] don't walk [Dm] far, [C] for we're breaking in [Bb] the new boys.
[Ab] Deceive your [Gb] next of kin, [G] for you're [D] dancing where [C] the doves decay.
[Bb] Defecating [Ab]
ecstasy, you're [Gb] just an ally of [F] the [D] legion.
[C] You're Caesar or the [Bb] virgin king, [Ab] but I love you in [Gb] your funky pumps [Gm] and your [D] nimble [C] dressed trains.
[Bb] Oh, dress yourself, [Ab] my urchin one, [Gb] for I hear them on [Dm] the rails.
[C] Because of all we've seen, [Bb] because [Ab] of all we've said, [Gb]
we [D] are the [C] dead.
_ [D] One [C] _
[Gm] _ thing kind [Bb] of touched [F] me today, I looked at you [Bb] and counted all [D] the time we [Eb] had laid. _
[F] _ Pressing on [D] all through the [Gm] night, _ [Bb]
knowing it's [Eb] right, [C] knowing it's [F] right. _ _
[Gm] Now I'm [Bb] hoping someone will [F] care. _
Living on [Dm] the breath, [D] a hope to be [Eb] shared. _ _
[Dm] _ [F] Trusting [Gb] on the [D] songs of [Gm] our love, [Bb] that someone [Eb] will care, [C] someone [F] will care.
_ [Eb]
But now, [D] _ _ [Bb] _ [Ab] we're today's [Gb] scrambled creatures, [Dm] locked in [C] tomorrow's double feature.
[Bb] Heaven is on [Ab] the pillow, [Gb] it's silence [Dm] competes with hell.
It's a [C] 24 [Bb] hour service, [Ab] guaranteed to [Gb] make you tell.
And the [D] streets are [C] full of fresh [Bb] men, bent on getting [Ab] hung and buried.
[Gb] And the legendary [Fm] [Am] curtains [C] are drawn round.
[Bb] They be bankrupt, [Ab] who sucks you while [Gb] you're sleeping.
[G] It's the [Bb] theatre of [C] financiers, count [Bb] them, 15 [Ab] round the table, [Gb] whites and dressed to [Dm] kill.
[C] Oh, caress yourself, [Bb] my juicy, [Ab] for my hands are all [Gb] but withered.
[F] Oh, dress [C] yourself, my urchin [Bb] one, for I hear them [Ab] on the stairs.
[Gb] Because of all we've [Dm] seen, [C] _
[Bb] because of all [Eb] we've [D] said.
[C] We are the dead, [D] _
_ [C] we [D] are [Em] dead, _ [D] _
_ [C] we have [D] a [Gm] debt.
_ [D] _ _ [Em] _ [C] _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _
